Successful team members within D4C enjoy a secure, long-term pipeline (no pun intended) of interesting and challenging projects, in a modern working environment, where innovation and collaboration is encouraged, recognized, and rewarded.

The Opportunity

  • Manage design team coordination and interfacing with stakeholders and the construction team.
  • Implement appropriate risk management principles & methodologies.
  • Be accountable for successful design delivery on allocated projects.

This role is strategically important to our future growth and impact. We are looking for people who have a can-do attitude, who are consultative, able to prioritise their work, and get things done. The successful candidates will be team players, and able to work with a range of stakeholders including influencing project leaders and helping highly technical engineers understand commercial imperatives.

Ideally, successful candidates will have:

  • 10 - 15 years of water industry experience (or similar process industry experience).
  • A sound background of technical knowledge in one or more relevant technical disciplines including a bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent tertiary qualifications.
  • Demonstrated experience in being accountable for delivering designs that meet project objectives, legal requirements, quality system requirements and client standards.
  • Some experience in coordinating multi-discipline design activities.
  • A sound understanding of project management, contract management and commercial management relating to engineering and design activities.
  • A sound understanding of risk management and associated techniques related to engineering and design activities.
  • Demonstrated leadership capability.
  • Advanced MSOffice skills in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word.
